Sam's Listening Excerpts

Textures, HOMO, MONO, POLY,
Major or Minor
Instruments


1. Mozarts Clarinet Concerto
Major
Homophonic because there is the woodwind playing different chords than the strings. Strings are playing the chords where the clarinet is playing the main melody. It then picks up introducing more instruments making the song seem fuller.
Violin
Clarinet


2. Hall of the mountain king
Minor
Homo then when it starts picking up speed and introduces more instruments it becomes polyphonic.
Oboe, Strings, Pizzicato, Symbols, Double bass, Cello, Timpani
